SUMMARY  OF  MEASURES  TO  BE  SUBMITTED  TO  THE 
PEOPLE  OF  CALIFORNIA  IN  1914 

At  the  general  election  in  November,  unless  a  special  election  is  called 

before  that  time. 

Compiled  by  Documents  Department,  California  State  Library. 


As  the  time  is  short  before  the  people 
of  California  will  have  to  vote  on  many 
measures,  a  brief  summary  of  them  may, 
perhaps,  help  libraries  toward  having 
available  material  on  the  subjects  covered 
by  the  measures. 

It  might  be  suggested,  too,  that  when 
asked  by  high  school  students,  clubs,  etc., 
for  subjects  for  debates,  public  discus- 
sions, papers  for  meetings,  etc.,  considera- 
tion be  given  to  these  subjects,  so  that 
when/ the  time  comes  to  vote,  the  people 
will  have  a  better  understanding  of  the 
measures. 

The  State  Library  plans  to  try  to  pre- 
pare lists  of  references  on  some  of  those 
subjects  represented  that  are  not  already 
covered  'Satisfactorily  by  up-to-date  bibli- 
ographies. Accordingly,  as  a  beginning,  a 
list  of  references  on  "The  eight  hour 
working  day"  follows  the  summary  of 
measures. 

These  measures  are  to  be  found  in  the 
California  Statutes,  1913,  as  indicated, 
except  the  initiative  measures,  which  are 
not  yet  in  print.  The  edition  of  the 
Statutes  is  limited  by  law,  but  copies  may 
be  consulted  in  public  libraries,  county 
law  libraries,  courts,  etc.  The  legislature 
does  not  provide  for  the  printing  of 
enough  separate  chapters  for  general  dis- 
tribution. Later  in  the  year  the  Secre- 
tary of  State  will  issue  for  distribution 
to  voters  a  pamphlet  containing  the  text 
of  all  measures  to  be  submitted  to  the 
people,  with  the  arguments  for  and 
against  them.
